IVAN STOJKOVIĆ FROM DUBROVNIK AS A READER OF ST. JEROME’S WORKS.

Ivan Stojković (oko 1395.–1443.) zauzima važno mjesto u povijesti Crkve, Pariškog sveučilišta i u hrvatskom narodu. S reputacijom izvrsnog diplomata, svestranog znanstvenika i strastvenog ljubitelja knjige, učeni dubrovački dominikanac utirao je putove europskim crkvenim i političkim integracijama u osvit modernog vremena. Prvi je od katoličkih mislilaca napisao traktat o Crkvi, raspravu o odvijanju ekumenskih sabora i biblijsku hermeneutiku, raspravu o pričesti pod obje prilike. Osobito je zanimanje pokazao za djela Jeronima iz Stridona, kojeg su svećenici glagoljaši smatrali »najslavnijim Hrvatom«, a hvarski dominikanac Vinko Pribojević »prvom slavom Dalmacije«, čija djela Stojković najčešće navodi u svojim brojnim spisima. U Jeronimovim spisima učeni Dubrovčanin nalazi argumente za svoje poimanje Petrova prvenstva i primata rimskih biskupa. Stojković u svojim diplomatskim misijama, izvješćima, koncilskim govorima i predstavkama uporno podsjeća na poraznu činjenicu da je »corpus christianorum« razdijeljen te preporučuje opći koncil kao jedinu moguću zajedničku tribinu koja će u slobodnoj raspravi združiti predstavnike kršćanskog Istoka i Zapada i spasiti se od moralnog rasapa i fizičkog uništenja.In the history of the Church, as well in the history of the University of Paris and Croatian people Ivan Stojković (ca. 1395-1443) was a rather prominent person. As extraordinary diplomat, multidisciplinary scientist and admirer of book this learned Dominican trod down paths of European ecclesiastical and political alliances and in a way anticipated coming of the early modern age. He was the first among catholic scholars who has written a tractate about the Church, an essay about ecumenical synods and a Biblical hermeneutics. In his work Stojković showed a particular interest in the works of St. Jerome of Stridon, who was among Slavic priests considered as »the most famous Croat«. Moreover, Dominican Vinko Pribojević called him »the first glory of Dalmatia«, and Stojković in his compositions quoted him many times. The probable reason why Stojković cited St. Jerome is the fact that Stojković in the saint’s works found support for his argumentations about the primacy of the St. Peter and the bishops of Rome. In his diplomatic missions, reports and speeches thoroughly maintained that corpus christianorum was divided and suggested an ecumenical synod where the representatives of the Christian East and West will discuss possibilities of the moral collapse and physical destruction of the Christian world
